Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1259 Nothing To Do With Me

Alex was left speechless by the old priest's barrage of insults. How could this seemingly serene and wise old priest start cursing as soon as he opened his mouth? Someone as capable as him should pay attention to their image!

"Why are you scolding me, sir? Didn't I bring this out to save both of us? Isn't it ungrateful of you to speak to me like this?" Alex said somewhat innocently.

Seeing Alex in that state, Megan believed that he really intended to give her the item in his hand. Fearing that the old priest might ruin her plan, she warned him. "If you dare to mess up my plans again, I'll kill you right here, right now, you old fool. Don't be stupid."

Turning to Alex, Megan smiled, "Can you give me that thing now? Don't worry. I will definitely let both of you go."

Megan, with her speed, could snatch the tear from Alex's hand, but the crystal was too fragile. She couldn't afford to take the risk, which is why she was negotiating with Alex in such a gentle manner. The moment she obtained the good, she would undoubtedly kill them all without hesitation.

"I've promised you. I won't lie. Come and get it!" Alex said lightly, extending his hand that was holding the box.

The old priest was speechless for a moment, utterly disappointed with Alex. I've lived for many years, but this is the first time I've encountered such a foolish person. Not only is he dooming us, but the city will also suffer due to his actions.

"Have you ever considered how many people will suffer if you hand over that item to this demon? Do you really think the demon will spare your life after you handed that to her? Not only will you die, but you wil also bring disaster upon the tens of thousands of lives in this city! Have you thought about that?" the old priest scolded Alex in anger.

Upon seeing that the old priest still dared to continue spoiling her plans, Megan directly shattered the golden light shield protecting him.

The golden shield was shattered, leaving the old priest without his only protection. Megan had long harbored resentment towards him, and with a lift of her leg, she kicked him squarely in the chest.

Her speed was so fast that the old priest had no chance to resist at all. He was kicked directly and only stopped flying backward when he hit the wall.

Upon witnessing this scene, Alex

sighed helplessly and said, "Neither of us is a match for Megan, sir. If we can't beat her, we may as well submit to her. If I give her what have

my hand, won't we be able to save our lives? What does the fate of millions in this city have to do with us? I'm no great hero. There's no need for me to interfere, right?"

While Megan was distracted dealing with the old priest, Alex was quietly moving toward the edge.

In that brief moment, Alex had already walked dozens of meters away without Megan noticing at all.

If Alex had rushed over and jumped down from the beginning, it would still be impossible for him, a Grandmaster, to accomplish his goal because of Megan's ability to teleport instantly.

Megan kicked the old priest. When she turned back to look at Alex, she realized that his position had changed significantly from before.

While Megan was still pondering Alex's intentions, Alex suddenly leaped from the sixteenth floor.

"You b*stard! How dare you trick me!" Megan said fiercely before vanishing from the spot.

The old priest was left in a daze by Megan's kick. Even so, he was utterly astounded by the scene before him.

He was wondering if Alex had lost his mind. To jump from the sixteenth floor was practically the same as seeking death. Though he possessed great mystic power, he still wouldn't dare to jump from the sixteenth floor without any precautions.
